Hey everyone!<br /><br />Annamaria is making me type my random thoughts in my blog...you know...because Facebook just wasn't enough! LOL!<br /><br />So here are my thoughts again...with a few more added in. Wanna read them? Here they go!<br /><br />1. My baby gave me the best smiles this morning. I live for those moments. <br /><br />2. Speaking of smiles, he was up at 1am just laughing and wanting to play. He didn't go back to sleep until 3:30, so I'm a cranky woman this morning. Luckily his laughs and smiles melt my heart - that saved him!<br /><br />3. There's a sex tape, and then there's porn...with full camera crew and HD cameras. Mimi...girl, bye.<br /><br />4. I miss watching my daytime tv shows now that I'm back at work - even though I have a tv on my desk. Just not the same as watching from my couch. Sigh...<br /><br />5. Today is my Friday! <br /><br />6. Madea is still doing plays?<br /><br />7. There is a bag of M&amp;M's on my desk just calling me. I don't know who put it there, but thanks!<br /><br />8. What's up with Columbus Short beating up people and threatening his wife? Is that any way for a Gladiator to behave?<br /><br />9. If you could sit down with your man/woman's ex for an hour to learn about their past relationship, would you?<br /><br />10. Just had a wonderful breakfast and I'm already thinking about what I'm going to eat for lunch. Breastfeeding has me hungry like a mugg!<br /><br />11. I'm out of "commuter" shape. Walking up and down subway platforms and around the city has me beat before I even get to work!<br /><br />12. The ONE good thing about being back to work...I can take my time and eat slowly. I don't have to rush to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and scarf it down before my baby gets antsy. Notice I'm talking about food again.<br /><br />13. I'm always thirsty too.<br /><br />14. I feel like I'm the only person I know who doesn't drink wine. All of my friends and Olivia Pope make it look so nice and refreshing and sophisticated. Unless it's Moscato, I'm just not interested.<br /><br />15. I think I need power steering fluid in my car. Didn't like the sound it was making this morning.<br /><br />16. Am I the only person noticing random new people popping up in my Facebook newsfeed? Like people that I have not "friended" but "like" all of my posts? I have no idea who some of these people are, but hey...welcome anyway :-)<br /><br />17. I'm dying to drink a soda with caffeine in it, but won't do it.<br /><br />18. One of my good friends just had a baby girl on Tuesday - so happy for her and baby Zavia!<br /><br />19. I still can't believe I'm someone's mother. I have a son...so surreal.<br /><br />20. I think it's time to bust open that bag of M&amp;M's!<br /><br />Go!<br /><br />-b Brookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.com39tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-43457584246684954672013-11-14T09:00:00.000-05:002013-11-14T09:00:03.293-05:00Random Thoughts ThursdayHappy Random Thoughts Thursday!<br /><br />I missed my blog...and my blog family!<br /><br />- It took me three tries to log in to my Cafe Blog account. It's been THAT long since I've logged in and posted something. That's sad.<br /><br />- For all of those in my blog family who may NOT know, I'm preggers!!! However, I'm pretty sure you all know that by now -it was the worst kept secret :-)<br /><br />- I'm having a boy! Jaxon Dean McMillon will make his debut January 2014!<br /><br />- I'm excited, happy, scared, nervous, anxious and an all around wreck - but I can't wait to see where this next chapter of my life takes me :-)<br /><br />- Have I blogged since I got married? I'm married too :-)<br /><br />- I have three cats. I've officially claimed my sister's cat as my own :-)<br /><br />- Scandal tonight!<br /><br />- I'm also watching Love &amp; Hip Hop NY. Yeah, I said it.<br /><br />- The best story ideas for me come from ratchet TV.<br /><br />- Can't get with the Preachers of L.A. though. I tried...doesn't do it for me.<br /><br />- I suck in Fantasy Football this year. I will NOT be repeating as champion :-(<br /><br />- I'm grateful to have been at my job for 10 years now. I truly love what I do!<br /><br />- I have a constant sour taste in my mouth since becoming pregnant. I'll be so glad when that goes away.<br /><br />- People who pretend to "instantly" fall asleep as soon as they see me walk on the train are WACK!<br />Keep your seat!<br /><br />- I'm always tired now. ALWAYS. But I know it's for a good reason, so I don't mind :-)<br /><br />- I love all my family and friends. Thank you so much for all the well wishes and prayers!<br /><br />Go!<br /><br />-bBrookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-19061536988127514712013-05-16T11:51:00.002-04:002013-05-16T11:51:47.730-04:00Random Thoughts Thursday!Happy Random Thoughts Thursday!<br /><br />And Anna and Serena didn't have to remind me :-)<br /><br />- Looking forward to 80 degree weather today! The warmth is coming to stay!<br /><br />- I bought a house! Woo-hoo!!! Who's up for the blog family housewarming party?! :-)<br /><br />- Now I have a mortgage. I'm a big girl now...scary and exciting!<br /><br />- Season finale for <i>Scandal </i>tonight. Shonda Rhimes has been putting her FOOT in this series!<br /><br />- I feel like shopping for sandals. But not before I get a nice pedicure. My feet look crazy!<br /><br />- My kittens are so wonderful - best birthday gift ever!<br /><br />- Gotta get my writing done tonight - suggestions for topics?<br /><br />- Made chicken breasts and broccoli for lunch today - even though I want Chinese food or pizza. I gotta get back on my health grind though. I've been out of pocket lately.<br /><br />- How do I stop these ads from popping up on my phone? I have a Galaxy S3 - and I think they're eating up my battery. This is nuts.<br /><br />- I like my own handwriting :-)<br /><br />- Drinking raspberry tea to keep warm. They always have it freezing in my office when it's warm outside. Silly.<br /><br />- I have an amazing mentee named Maya - love her!<br /><br />- Her mother is awesome too!<br /><br />- Can someone help me move? :-)<br /><br />- Can't wait to rock my BRIGHT PINK skinny jeans from Old Navy. I got alotta hips, so you'll definitely see me coming! LOL!<br /><br />Go!<br /><br />-bBrookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-22804074974613358562013-04-11T11:50:00.000-04:002013-04-11T11:50:21.257-04:00Random Thoughts Thursday!Happy Random Thoughts Thursday!<br /><br />- So...I finally have a mentee! Can't wait to meet her and her mom. I'm nervous and excited! I hope I can be a good influence, teacher, mentor...and friend.<br /><br />- I'm tired.<br /><br />- The weather the past couple of days has been gorgeous...but today, back to cool and drab. Booo.<br /><br />- No Scandal tonight....guess I'll try to write something. Booo.<br /><br />- I want the summer to be here already. If I can't take a real vacation, I at least want to wear flip flips in the warm sun for a while.<br /><br />- My kittens are so cute...and so destructive! They jump on everything and scatter papers all over the place! They play when I want to sleep and sleep when I want to play. But I love them to death :-)<br /><br />- My nephews make me smile from ear to ear :-)<br /><br />- My sister is pretty awesome too! I don't know what I'd do without her :-)<br /><br />- Any suggestions for article ideas for my writing? I ask every week and I get nothing! C'mon y'all!<br /><br />- Syracuse gave it a good run and had a great basketball season - so proud of my alma mater! Go 'Cuse! Glad the Big East took it though :-)<br /><br />- The movie <i>42</i> was pretty decent. <i>Oblivion</i> on Monday!<br /><br />- I miss my boo :-( even though he gets on my last nerve :-)<br /><br />- I wanna put on a sun dress/maxi dress. Soon come.<br /><br />Go!<br /><br />-bBrookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-83299955166177348712013-04-04T13:18:00.000-04:002013-04-04T13:18:09.079-04:00Random Thoughts ThursdayHappy Random Thoughts Thursday!<br /><br />- Annamaria reminded me that it was Thursday. It feels like a Wednesday to me, but maybe that's because I was out Monday. Glad to know I'm one day closer to the weekend!<br /><br />- My nephew turned 9 years old this past Saturday - how is that even possible?! I remember the day he was born like it was yesterday! Next year he'll be in double digits and a pre-teen. Slow down!!!<br /><br />- How does my sister have a child who is 9 and one who is 6 and I don't have any yet? That just seems odd. But not really...but it does.<br /><br />- I need ideas for my Madamenoire.com articles - anyone have any suggestions?<br /><br />- I hope that this year brings me many amazing opportunities to grow and prosper :-)<br /><br />- I don't even see how I have time to blog today given how busy I always seem to be. I need a nice, long vacation. Anywhere. Just doing nothing.<br /><br />- This woman at work announced her pregnancy to her department with balloons and cupcakes, but then when I said "Congratulations" to her, she looked at me funny and replied, "how did you know?"<br /><br />Um...maybe because you made a big production out of it?<br /><br />- I'm so thankful for all that I have...health, happiness, family, friends...love. Everything else is secondary.<br /><br />- Time for some ginger tea! I feel another cold coming on.<br /><br />- What's for lunch?<br /><br />- Syracuse gonna WHOOP Michigan this weekend in their Final Four match up. My boo better be ready to hear my mouth. Go Cuse!<br /><br />Go!<br /><br />-bBrookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-20440374169536339032013-03-14T11:04:00.002-04:002013-03-14T11:04:33.660-04:00Random Thoughts Thursday!Happy Random Thoughts Thursday!<br /><br />- If I only type in my blog once a week, it might as well be RTT so that I can see what you all are up to!

A sista's been busy! Let's see...<br /><br />I've been busy: <br /><br />- turning 40 years old! Yay! Thank God for another year and for seeing me into another decade!<br /><br />- with my new kittens - Sasha Fierce and Jigga Man. Yes, I'm a fan...sue me :-) But they belong together :-) Thanks again to my sister and nephews for the new loves of my life :-)<br /><br />- trying to stay on my weight loss journey. I'm currently in 3rd place in The Biggest Loser at my job. I have 2 weeks to turn it on full gear so I can pull out a win like I did the first time!<br /><br />- working at my day job trying to earn another promotion. It's time y'all!<br /><br />- writing for Madamenoire.com. Hopefully you've been able to check out a few of my articles on the site. So you see...I HAVE been writing, just not for my own blog. But hey...they PAY ME!!<br /><br />- house hunting...so much fun, but stressful sometimes too. But I'm getting close!<br /><br />- loving my boo :-) Even when he gets on my damn nerves!<br /><br />- visiting friends and making new ones. Always nice to welcome more phenomenal women into my circle of friends :-)<br /><br />- celebrating birthdays with others - Shout out to Ms. Lylah!<br /><br />- trying to figure out what to do with my hair. An ongoing battle.<br /><br />- resisting the urge to shop for new clothes. And boots are on sale now! But I'm staying strong!<br /><br />- watching<i> Scandal</i>! That show is the bomb.com.<br /><br />- lurking on Facebook. Crazy how that's where I get all of my information.<br /><br />- learning what a 27-Piece is. Yolanda brightens my day every day :-) <br /><br />- missing you guys!<br /><br />What have you been busy doing? Go!<br /><br />-bBrookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.com24tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-59134359615589580382012-12-14T11:25:00.002-05:002012-12-14T11:25:54.602-05:00Random Thoughts FRIDAY!Happy Random Thoughts FRIDAY!!<br /><br />- I know, I know...I've been a bad blogger. I can't believe my last post was over a month ago. I'm so sorry blog fam - I'll try to do better. But a blogger's been busy!<br /><br />- Thanks for checking out my articles on Madamenoire.com though - you all are awesome and the support means so much!<br /><br />- The boo is making breakfast and I'm off on a Friday. Don't get no betta!<br /><br />- I'm in the playoffs in Fantasy Football - but my luck may be running out. Should have put Jackson or Williams in instead of J. Maclin. Oh well.<br /><br />- That probably made no sense to anyone but Rameer :-)<br /><br />- Shonda Rhimes is a beast!<br /><br />- I have a lot of holiday shopping to do, so I can't be lazy today. I have a lot of writing to do too...so not sure how I'm gonna get all of this done. Today - write. Weekend - shop.<br /><br />- Also going to check out my Godson Lee in his performance of The Nutcracker. Should be great!<br /><br />- Just found out a friend of mine is preggers! Yay! Babies on the brain!<br /><br />- Not my brain....right now anyway....<br /><br />-&nbsp; What to write about today?<br /><br />- I want a house.<br /><br />- Time to put up the Christmas tree too...I'm all late.<br /><br />- What were the highlights of your 2012?<br /><br />Go!Brookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-6357451001897136242012-11-08T10:51:00.001-05:002012-11-08T10:51:40.259-05:00Random Thoughts Thursday!Happy Random Thoughts Thursday!<br /><br />I've been MIA - but I'm baaaack!!!<br /><br />- PRESIDENT OBAMA!!! That never gets old.<br /><br /><br />- Between Hurricane Sandy and this Nor'easter - I'm done. Mother Nature....please relax for a lil bit. <br />- I've been watching <em>Living Single</em> and <em>Martin </em>marathons lately. I miss the 90's. <br /><br />- I LOVE that the heat is on blast in my office. People keep coming in complaining about how hot it is. THEN LEAVE. I have work to do anyway.<br /><br />- I think I'm dehydrated.<br /><br />- One more week left til the end of the Biggest Loser competition at work. Watch my smoke!<br /><br />- Then watch me eat...at Thanksgiving that is :-) Can't believe how fast the year is going by.<br /><br />- Any ideas for me for my articles on Madame Noire?<br /><br />- My sister got me hooked on this Swiped Gems game. Been playing it like crazy on my iPad. Even almost missed my stop on the train!<br /><br />- Where can one find gas in Queens? This ish is ridiculous.<br /><br />- Forgot to take my vitamins. I'm tired.<br /><br />- I'm slipping in Fantasy Football...leaving all my damn points on the bench. Dammit!<br /><br />- So...the Game says that women would fair better if we lived in a polygamist society because all men cheat - so if they went into a relationship assuming/knowing this, all would be right with the world. He also said, however, that he would not stay with a woman who cheated on him. What say you about this fuckery?<br /><br />Go!<br /><br />-bBrookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-15389296219012869112012-10-11T12:09:00.000-04:002012-10-11T12:09:31.801-04:00Random Thoughts Thursday!Happy Random Thoughts Thursday!<br /><br /><br />- I have writer's block like a mugg! Thanks to everyone who is helping me come up with ideas for articles - and keep 'em coming!<br /><br />- Talk about chilly! I actually wore gloves this morning!<br /><br />- Losing weight is so much harder this time around for the Biggest Loser competition at work. I damn near have to drink my food in order to see any results - but if that's what I must do, then I WILL!!<br /><br />- Does anyone really care that Chris Breezy and Rihanna are "friends" again? Is anyone really surprised? <br /><br />Subway pet peeves:<br /><br />- First, I get on the train and sit down...and there's a seat in between another woman and me, which had a newspaper resting on it. Some strange dude gets on at the next stop and works his way to the empty seat between us. He looks at ME, not her, and points to the newspaper. I assumed he was asking me if it belonged to me, so I said to him, "No, it's not mine." He has the NERVE to say, "Well, can you move it?" I promptly replied, "Can YOU?" He then looked at me like I shot his dog and walked away. <br /><br />Who do I look like...Kizzy?<br /><br />- Next up...the big booty woman.<br /><br />I know how wide I am, which is why I don't try to squeeze into seats between folks knowing I can't fit. After the newspaper dude walks away, another woman comes over, moves the paper, and then practically sits on my lap. Then she wiggled her booty into the seat after using me for leverage. And then she looks at me like I should move. Chile please. Not today...not today.<br /><br />- If you are no longer a teenager, you should not wear sweatpants that have ANYTHING written across your ass - especially the word JUICY.<br /><br />- I try to keep change on me every Friday, because every Friday I give the same guy some money for singing the same exact song...every Friday. He just makes me smile.<br /><br />- Anyone watching the Vice Presidential debates tonight? <br /><br />- Why is it only 51 degrees at lunch time? Brrrrr! It's nice and sunny though, so that helps.<br /><br />- A woman who's been dying to pitch her TV show idea to me sent me a bottle of tequila as a way to get on my good side. First off, I don't drink tequila. But even more weird is that the bottle is in the shape of a skull. It's "Halloween Tequila." Creepy much?<br /><br />- I also have a <em>Duck Dynasty</em> "Chia Willie" if anyone wants it. Didn't think so.<br /><br />- Mitt Romney is all over the place. He doesn't know what he stands for. <br /><br />- Barack better bring it next time!<br /><br />Go!<br /><br />-bBrookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-5525034747341545272012-10-05T11:31:00.001-04:002012-10-05T11:31:47.353-04:00"Sexual Fluidity"TGIF!!<br /><br />So I was having a conversation with Miss Brittany - my colleague here at work - and I wanted to pose these questions of the day to the blog family. Let's start with this one:&nbsp;<strong>Do you feel that women are...or can be...more "sexually fluid" than men?</strong><br /><br />The question came about because we were discussing bisexuality. I told her that I didn't believe that men (or women really) were bisexual. I think that if a man gets aroused by another man, he's gay. Same for a woman. Now, I could be wrong...and since I'm neither gay or bisexual, it's quite possible I have no idea what I'm talking about.<br /><br />Brittany feels that it's harder for men to be as sexually fluid as women can because of their position in the world - their conditioning to be "male" and "masculine" - and that because we as a society&nbsp;don't support masculinity within bisexuality as much as we support women and femininity within bisexuality, we're quicker to label a man as gay rather than giving him&nbsp;the freedom to be bisexual.<br /><br />So what say you? <br /><br /><strong>Do you believe that any person - male or female -&nbsp;can&nbsp;be bisexual? Only women? Or do you believe that you're either gay or straight and nothing in between?</strong><br /><br />Go!<br /><br />-bBrookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-56449453549576740102012-10-02T13:40:00.002-04:002012-10-02T13:42:52.116-04:00TMI Tuesday Questions of the DayHappy TMI Tuesday!<br /><br />Since Fury is MIA, I thought I'd come up with some TMI questions for my blog family to answer - if you're bold enough ;-) Don't be shy!<br /><br />1. If you could pick something new for your partner to try when you have sex, what would it be?<br /><br />2. Who is your girl/boy crush?<br /><br />3. If you could only change one of these 2 things, which would it be: the time you have sex or the the place you have sex?<br /><br />4. Do your friends think you have sex more or less than you actually do? If so, would you want to have sex more or less than you actually do?<br /><br />5. What couple has the best relationship you've seen? What about their relationship appeals to you?<br /><br />That should be enough to get your brains going today. Let's hear it!<br /><br />Go!<br /><br />-b<br /><br />Brookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-39101531613357488302012-09-28T15:31:00.001-04:002012-09-28T15:31:51.516-04:00Point Blank QuestionsTGIF!!!<br /><br />So one of my besties sent this to me to present to the blog family. She calls these her "Point Blank" questions everyone should ask a potential mate when they start dating. I realize some of you are booed up already, but for those&nbsp;who aren't, let's hear your answers to these if asked by the person you just met. If you have any you'd like to add, feel free (and print out and give to a potential new boo...or an old boo if he/she ain't acting right). Go!<br /><br />I ________________________ single.<br /><br /><br />I _________________________ emotionally available.<br /><br />I _________________________ dating other people.<br /><br />I _________________________ want to date other people.<br /><br />I am ____________________________ with you dating other people.<br /><br />I am looking for a ____________________________ type of relationship with you.<br /><br />I________________________ envisioned myself getting married. <br /><br />I am_________________________ ready for marriage.<br /><br />I ___________________ see myself marrying you.<br /><br />There is _____________________ set time frame that I would like to be married by.<br /><br />I ____________________________ want children.<br /><br />I ________________________ see myself having children with you.<br /><br />I _______________________ to have children in the near future.<br /><br />I am _______________________________ of commitment.<br /><br />I ______________________________ commit to you.<br /><br />It is ______________________ for me to share my true feelings with you.<br /><br />I ____________________________ keep secrets from you.<br /><br />I _________________________________ trust issues.<br /><br />I am _____________________________ in love with you.<br /><br /><br />-bBrookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-33246677322196104882012-09-27T11:32:00.000-04:002012-09-27T11:32:28.396-04:00Random Thoughts ThursdayHappy Random Thoughts Thursday!<br /><br />- So I think the people who painted my apartment stole my diamond earrings, so I've been angry and in a funk since I discovered they were gone. I know the Universe will take care of them, I just wish I was around to see it. <br /><br />- Liars, cheaters and thieves never win. Ever.<br /><br />- I'm supposed to have a meeting with some folks as I type this&nbsp;and they're late. I guess my time doesn't matter. And this is a meeting that THEY want, not me. Typical.<br /><br />- I have new sneakers and I think they're so pretty! :-) These little things make working out just a teeny weeny bit better. <br /><br />- All I know is, if I don't lose even an ounce this week, I'm gonna go off on somebody. I'm working my ass off (what little booty I have) and last week I didn't gain or lose anything. I feel like I need a shot of Xenadrine with a Hydroxycut chaser!<br /><br />- My new juicer came! Woo-hoo! Maybe I just need to juice for the next 7 weeks. Hopefully that'll help put me back on track.<br /><br />- I admit it, I've been watching <em>Maury </em>from time to time when I get to work. How many baby daddy paternity test shows can he do??? How do you go on tv with like, 5 dudes, and NONE of them are your child's father? Trife life.<br /><br />- I can't believe it's about to be October. Like...really. I love Halloween season though :-) And my sister's birthday...AND Ibrahim's birthday!<br /><br />- And my Godson Lee's birthday is tomorrow! He'll be 9...these kids are growing up too fast! They need jobs :-)<br /><br />- Maybe I need to drink more water.<br /><br />- <em>Scandal</em> starts tonight and I forgot to DVR it - must make sure I'm home to watch it! Maybe I'll spin while it's on...kill two birds...<br /><br />- Vanessa Williams is on <em>The View</em>. She's so pretty :-) A bit of a diva, but pretty!<br /><br />- I think I need to stay on the elliptical machine for an hour today at lunch time. Put on some Beyonce videos and rock out. Maybe an hour and a half til I pass out. <br /><br />- My hair is a mess. Just wanted to say that.<br /><br />Go!<br /><br />-bBrookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-12709132336542936132012-09-20T11:53:00.000-04:002012-09-20T12:22:13.972-04:00Random Thoughts Thursday!Happy Random Thoughts Thursday!<br /><br />- Not so happy...I'm up 2 lbs from last week. I have to eat broccoli and work my ass off today just to get back down to where I was :-(<br /><br />- I think my body is rebelling against me. And I'm still sore everywhere :(<br /><br />- Time to take this nail polish off. <br /><br />- It's almost like the Republicans are TRYING to get Barack Obama re-elected. Mitt Romney has to be the biggest plug on the planet. <br /><br />- What's up with Prince's afro? Looks kinda funny on him.<br /><br />- I tied in Fantasy Football last week. I'll take it, cuz I just KNEW I was gonna lose that one. Whew!<br /><br />- Still need to look into Eagles tickets for my nephews. They're in to football now. <br /><br />- I didn't forget about the Nets tickets Annamaria - I'm on it! Barclay Center here we come!<br /><br />- I'm so behind when it comes to new music. I need to take a day to just download everything and get it poppin'.<br /><br />- Any ideas for an article I can write on relationships? I have a bit of writer's block :-(<br /><br />- My new mattress is the bomb.com.<br /><br />- I need to stop talking about Prince's afro, cuz mine isn't what's hot in the streets right now either. <br /><br />- Witches Brew cracks me up every single day. I was on the train reading a post on Facebook and literally laughed out loud. Everyone on the train looked at me like I spit in their coffee or something. Mean New Yorkers.<br /><br />- Cute kids alert!!! <br /><br /><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none;

Like what does a person have to do to just get it ALL out of their system? Is it impossible to sow your royal oats? Here I was thinking my list&nbsp;had had a couple of fantasies on it, then I began to talk to some women about their lists…and realized…hey wait, I want to try that too! Oooh ooh! Me ! Me! Pick me for that one!<br /><br />Perhaps my list has grown because I imagined doing these things with the women who brought them up. Many of them aren't "new" things. Nothing too "crazy". But dammitt, now I've added to this list. I've had my share of very willing and game partners and have wiped plenty off of my list based on their willingness and imagination -&nbsp;but now…here I go again. <br /><br />Because this is TMI Tuesday I expect the comments section to be littered with your own fantasies. Hell, Summer is over and it's the first day back after a long weekend. You're not really going to do work are you? No. You're gonna fake work and think about sex.<br /><br />1) <strong>Perform oral sex on a woman with a clit ring</strong>. -<em> I have an oral fixation</em><br /><br />2) <strong>Have sex wearing a cock ring</strong>. - <em>Read an article that says it will increase your erection to 110% through sex and to 115% during orgasm(!!!)</em><br /><br />3) <strong>Go to a sex club</strong>. - <em>Yeah this still hasn't happened….</em><br /><br />4) <strong>Have sex in said sex club</strong>. - <em>With someone I bring…or a well known celeb and then I keep it secret but know what her O face looks like whenever I see her in the tabloids.</em><br /><br />5) <strong>Have sex in the rain</strong>. - <em>Just one of those leftover ideas from way back in the days.</em><br /><br />6) <strong>Breath Play</strong> - <em>You know, asphyxiate a woman upon her climax or be asphyxiated upon mine. I've choked. Just never this far…</em><br /><br />7) <strong>BDSM</strong> - <em>Some serious rope binding. Ass whipping. Mask wearing. safe word sex</em><br /><br />8) <strong>Anal</strong>. - <em>Why? Because I was told that I can't because I'm too well endowed. So now it goes on the list just because I was denied. LOL</em><br /><br />9) <strong>Have sex on a swing</strong>. - <em>This obviously should've been done the time Honey Rider dressed up like a school girl, but…</em><br /><br />10) <strong>Record a wild sex session with a partner. Watch it with the partner later…and another female friend</strong> - <em>Probably one of the lone exhibitionist fantasies I've had</em><br /><br />11) <strong>Have sex on a rooftop</strong> - <em>I did a balcony once…Why not go to the top? Not the highest roof. There needs to be some possibility I'm being watched</em>.<br /><br />12) <strong>Be a whore</strong>. - <em>Very specifically. Be paid very well to have sex with a VERY attractive, disease FREE, woman. One time only. I was actually offered this once by an ex, but turned her down for some silly reason. Don't judge me.</em><br /><br />13) <strong>Make more women squirt</strong>. - <em>Yes more. I'm a pleaser at heart</em><br /><br />14) <strong>Bend her over her office desk, door closed, hard sex during business hours</strong>. - <em>That film Secretary was really good.</em><br /><br />15)<strong> Being ridden twice at the same time</strong>. - <em>Cowgirl on my penis. Cowgirl on my face. Or one can reverse and they can play with each other too...</em><br /><br />So there is my list. I'm sure I'm missing some. Help me add to it. <br /><br />They call me <strong>The Fury -</strong>&nbsp;if you want to experience any of these with me check yes or no…<br /><br /><em>- The Fury</em><br /><br /><a href="http://dirtydetails.blogspot.com/">http://dirtydetails.blogspot.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.twitter.com/dirtydetails">http://www.twitter.com/dirtydetails</a><br />Instagram: dirtydetailsBrookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.com21tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-27675845764770956662012-08-30T14:23:00.000-04:002012-08-30T14:23:06.139-04:00Random Thoughts ThursdayHappy Random Thoughts Thursday!<br /><br />- Annamaria reminded me of what day it was...but I had a foot doctor's appt. earlier, so I'm just now getting back! Geesh!<br /><br />- I have <strong>Carpal Tarsal Syndrome</strong>: <em>Anatomy similar to that of the wrist and hand exists in the ankle and foot. When the sensory nerve that passes through the tarsal tunnel is irritated by pressure in the tunnel, numbness and tingling of the foot and toes can be felt</em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;I had to get an injection in my foot. So yeah...fun times.<br /><br />- So glad it's a long weekend. Going to the beach at some point...and then my first match of the U.S. Open on Monday night!<br /><br />- Been watching tennis for a couple days now - go Venus and Serena!<br /><br />- Has anyone seen Porgy &amp; Bess on Broadway with Audra McDonald? Opinions?<br /><br />- I need to find out when my broadcast network shows start.<br /><br />- It's 2:18 and I haven't eaten lunch yet. Have a great lunch waiting for me too - chicken breast, shrimp and asparagus! Thanks babe!<br /><br />- Beautiful day out!<br /><br />- How did the summer pass by so quickly? I wish winter felt this short :-(<br /><br />- I have a new mattress and new bedding. You'd be surprised how refreshing a new set of sheets feels. Ahhhh!!!<br /><br />- I need to drink more water. And I think I feel a cold coming on :-(<br /><br />- T.I. and Tiny are cute and all, but I can't commit to their show.<br /><br />- Just bought some new candles to go with my new bedroom :-) Great sale and Bath &amp; Body Works! It's on my way home from the foot doctor :-)<br /><br />- I think I'll cut it short now so that Annamaria can be first and give us her random thoughts :-) Gotta go heat up my lunch anyway :-) <br /><br />Go!<br /><br />-bBrookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-89283787382544542372012-08-29T11:06:00.000-04:002012-08-29T11:06:06.461-04:00What is Your Breaking Point?Happy Hump Day everyone!<br /><br />I know it's been a minute since we last chat, so I hope my blog family is happy and healthy!<br /><br />Today's Hump Day discussion is a question of the day: What is Your Relationship Breaking Point?<br /><br />Having dated for over half my life, I can honestly say that how I viewed relationships from the age of 16 to now has definitely changed over the years. We all have things that we will or will not put up with in a relationship, but I have found that those things can change as we get older and gather more experience. At least that's the case for me.<br /><br />From&nbsp;ages 16 to about 25, I never considered dating anyone with children -&nbsp;Until I met someone with children that I vibed with. So I amended my list a bit to say that I wouldn't date a man who had multiple children with more than one woman. But once I hit 30, I realized that that was like asking water not to be wet. Don't get me wrong, I've dated several men who didn't have kids, or only had one child - but of course those relationships unfortunately didn't work out.<br /><br />So I amend my list again.<br /><br />Once I hit 35, I got rid of this mental checklist altogether and decided to just go with the flow. However, what hasn't changed are my core values of honesty and respect - two things I will not waver from. Those are things I require. I can't be in a relationship without them - those are my deal breakers.<br /><br />I hate when I give a person an opportunity to tell the truth and they don't take it. For me, lying and cheating is the ultimate betrayal. Some women say they would never be with a man who is physically abusive. Others say they can't be with a man who has an addiction. Others won't date men with multiple children, who are unemployed or who live with their mama. We all have that "thing" we simply can't put up with. For me, it's lying.<br /><br />For me, trust is the foundation of a relationship. If I don't have peace of mind, I can't function daily in a state of joy. I get headaches, lose sleep, I can't focus at work and I just generally feel sad. There is nothing worse than being lied to by the person you love, who you thought loved you enough to be honest with you, who respects you enough to have an uncomfortable conversation and who would protect your heart. For me, dishonestly and deceit will break my heart, and send me running in the other direction. I don't like my time being wasted.<br /><br />So I say all of that to say, what is your relationship breaking point? What will you, or will you NOT, put up with? Has your thresh hold or tolerance for certain things changed over the years, or have you stood firm in your beliefs? Curious to see if anyone has allowed their thresh hold to slide a bit - because for me, when I'm done...I'm done.<br /><br />Go!<br /><br />-bBrookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.com27tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-15357300132724044112012-08-16T12:24:00.000-04:002012-08-16T12:24:48.680-04:00Random Thoughts ThursdayHappy Random Thoughts Thursday!<br /><br />- I have a slight headache - must find medicine fast!<br /><br />- So, I'm on the train on my way to work, and this little kid sitting across from me sneezes and blows snot and saliva and Lord knows what else on this woman's arm&nbsp;who is sitting next to him. She promptly gets out her tissues and hand sanitizer and wipes herself down. That's what any of us would have done, right?<br /><br />The MOTHER proceeds to huff and puff and says to the woman, "Really??!! It's THAT deep?" <br /><br />The other woman says, "Yes, it is."<br /><br />Umm...why should that woman sit there with snot on her arm? It kills me how some parents take offense to EVERY LITTLE THING that pertains to their child. <br /><br />Here's a little tidbit about me that all parents should know so that they don't get offended if this ever comes up: I don't drink behind children. None...not even my nephews, my friends' kids, whoever. I just don't.<br /><br />I barely drink behind any adults. I make an exception for my man because I figure we're probably already swapping spit in some other way, so drinking out of your glass shouldn't be a problem. However, I'm sure it's a psychological thing when it comes to kids. When I catch a cold from an adult, it lasts 3 days. When I catch a bug from a kid though, I'm laid out for 2 weeks. Something about kid germs seems mutant to me. <br /><br />So if you offer me something in a glass or a bottle your child has drank out of and I decline, don't get mad, don't get offended or think I don't love your child. I just don't do that if I can help it. The end.<br /><br />- My new orthotics in my sneakers feel pretty okay. My left foot is all jacked up.<br /><br />- I miss the Olympics :-(<br /><br />- I'm so happy Jennifer Aniston got engaged :-) Well, that's what <em>Inside Edition</em> and <em>People Magazine</em> are saying anyway. <br /><br />- I'm mad people are still talking about Gabby Douglas' hair. Now they're saying she's getting a makeover from a celebrity stylist. While that's fun and all, she's a freakin' OLYMPIAN!! Why aren't we focusing on that? She made history. Really? She's 16 years old, give her a break already. <br /><br />- Meanwhile, I need someone to do something with MY hair. <br /><br />- My phone isn't ringing, it's "chirping" or "beeping" or something. <br /><br />- Serena, I got your text...and while I would normally&nbsp;LOVE to split a case of Snapple with you, I've been trying not to drink it anymore. I now drink Lipton Tea &amp; Honey, a black tea-lemon-honey packet that you add to water and is only 5 calories with no sugar OR aspartame. It's light, so I'm trying to make myself like that instead of the Snapple that I normally LOVE. I'm going through orange juice withdrawal too.<br /><br />- I lost 3 more pounds :-) It's slowing down a bit, but as long as the scale is going down, I'm not complaining.<br /><br />- My ceiling broke last night in my living room and bedroom. My mattress, rugs, clothes stored under my bed, are all completely soaked. When it rains, it pours...literally. They better fix this ish TODAY.<br /><br />- Chad Johnson and Evelyn Lozada are a messy couple - that never should have happened. <br /><br />- HBO's <em>Hardknocks</em> is on it! That's REAL reality right there.<br /><br />- Wondering if I should do the Biggest Loser at work again - defend my title :-) <br /><br />- Still waiting for my cousin's baby to come out - she's a week overdue!!! Watch her go into labor the minute I hit the highway for Philly.<br /><br />- I want to get my nails done...maybe next week.<br /><br />- Still haven't seen&nbsp;<em>The Dark Knight&nbsp;Rises</em>....gotta get that done.<br /><br />Go!<br /><br />-bBrookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-73170915582260489382012-08-07T15:07:00.002-04:002012-08-07T15:15:00.968-04:00TMI Tuesday: I Wanna F#$& an Olympian!<br />It's TMI Tuesday and Fury is back!

Bah! How many people want to have sex with one of those super fit, attractive physical specimens jumping, running, diving, flipping, swimming, backhanding and digging - Olympians on your screen? Surely NBC (broadcasters in America) knows what they're doing. There are more ass shots of Spain's Beach Vollyball Fernandez and lower V exposing shots of USA Swimming's Ryan Lochte than anyone can count. As for the aforementioned Fernandez, I'm not complaining. NBC understands. These are some sexy bodies. Even when the faces are less than appealing, you can't help but to admire the ass flexing of the Nigerian chick with the bad multi-colored wig.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pwLFQEv-7Yc/UCFofJ4DC5I/AAAAAAAAAwM/CH7eyuVQsR4/s1600/Sanya+Richards+Ross+USA+seen+winning+gold+f71iDb0S_1Rl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" kda="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pwLFQEv-7Yc/UCFofJ4DC5I/AAAAAAAAAwM/CH7eyuVQsR4/s320/Sanya+Richards+Ross+USA+seen+winning+gold+f71iDb0S_1Rl.jpg" width="320" /></a>My first Olympic crush may have been Mary Lou Retton...or was it FloJo? Damn FloJo and those nails. And I was still pretty young, but no one could doubt her sex appeal. My second was definitely Dominique Dawes. These people are dynamos. This is probably the closest anyone could come to fucking a superhero. Not that it's a guaranteed great lay. But I've dated a dancer and the fact that she could bend and split like she did...(Yes she once did a split on the schlong just to show that she could) was very impressive. It wasn't just physical prowess and ability, but confidence. Anyone confident to wear skintight Daisy Dukes in front of a crowd and run, dance, flip or swim in them will probably not be skittish about doing wild shit with the light on...or in public. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1vYeXmNnIZs/UCFopbqy-1I/AAAAAAAAAwU/OOtYgkHeUG8/s1600/s-LOLO-JONES-large300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" kda="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1vYeXmNnIZs/UCFopbqy-1I/AAAAAAAAAwU/OOtYgkHeUG8/s1600/s-LOLO-JONES-large300.jpg" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-M0_uAYBuuNc/UCFoHmmBrTI/AAAAAAAAAwE/WoMRrq7xWdo/s1600/Vanessa+Ferrari+FIG+Artistic+Gymnastics+Olympic+5zEf63GZzJ5l.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="222" kda="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-M0_uAYBuuNc/UCFoHmmBrTI/AAAAAAAAAwE/WoMRrq7xWdo/s320/Vanessa+Ferrari+FIG+Artistic+Gymnastics+Olympic+5zEf63GZzJ5l.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6wi8cz6dR2Q/UCFoFYGrKtI/AAAAAAAAAv8/FN1rDWM_BA8/s1600/men's+swim+team.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="222" kda="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6wi8cz6dR2Q/UCFoFYGrKtI/AAAAAAAAAv8/FN1rDWM_BA8/s320/men's+swim+team.jpg" width="320" /></a>I love thick women. I like plump women. I like something to grab on. I like to see the ass jiggle when she walks or when I slap it when we're doing it doggystyle. I appreciate a love handle. I used to be way more fit than I am now. Not that I'm not fit, but there was a six-pack and a strip off my shirt in front of crowd time in my life. I'm not there anymore. I'm within a good 90 day (closer to 120) program from being there, but I'm not pressed. I understand the appeal of the six pack abs and all that and I know, like these Olympians, it appeals to women and makes them gush. But just like I like women with more cushion for the pushing, thick thighs, big tits and some jiggle, I still want to fuck an Olympian. And while I may not have the abs of Phelps, the thighs of Bolt or the vertical jump of Kobe Bryant, I do have the cock, the drive, the stamina, the imagination and sheer will of <strong>The Fury</strong>. I like going for the sexual gold!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">So, who is your Olympian of choice?

Besides, Annamaria suggested random thoughts for today, and I can't let her down :-)<br /><br />- When it's raining like this, I just want to stay in bed...but I have things to do so that's not really an option today. Oh well....at least I got to sleep in late.<br /><br />- I'm loving the Olympics! Coverage is okay...and some of the judges suck, but the stories are always inspiring :-)<br /><br />- Gabby Douglas is so cute!<br /><br />- I went in a little harder yesterday in the strength class because I was trying to channel the spirit of an Olympian. I might regret that in the next 24 hours.<br /><br />- Gonna be a special, fun weekend.<br /><br />- Happy August! Where is the summer going??<br /><br />- Guess that means rent is due. Grateful to have a roof over my head though.<br /><br />- My dad makes me laugh...and smile. <br /><br />- My boo boo Ibrahim wears glasses now - he's so adorable!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qxWbmEZ7Dl0/UBljaW3SwmI/AAAAAAAAAvM/heBnHuMq0dA/s1600/Ibrahim.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qxWbmEZ7Dl0/UBljaW3SwmI/AAAAAAAAAvM/heBnHuMq0dA/s320/Ibrahim.jpg" width="179" /></a></div><br />Okay, I think that's all I got - time to run some errands but I'll be checking in!<br /><br />Go!Brookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-5711910023285427282012-07-26T13:12:00.002-04:002012-07-26T16:46:22.929-04:00Random Thoughts Thursday!Happy Thursday!<br /><br />- Been busy like a mugg!!! How y'all been!?<br /><br />- I could use a nice, relaxing vacation. Sand, sun, tropical drinks...yeah...all that.<br /><br />- I have the biggest umbrella on the planet, and I STILL managed to get wet this morning. Da hell?<br /><br />- Can't wait to eat my salmon for lunch today - I think I mighta put my foot in it last night!<br /><br />- I'm always mad at myself after I watch <em>Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta</em>, but I can't stop! It's a perfect blend of drama, comedy and ratchetness. <br /><br />- If Joseline gets a spinoff, they'll have to subtitle the entire show. That girl needs to get hooked on phonics. "Steebie."<br /><br />- Still haven't seen<em> The Dark Knight Rises</em>&nbsp;yet. I think I'm still sad about what happened in Colorado, so I'm not rushing it. RIP to all those affected by the shooting in Aurora. <br /><br />- RIP Sherman Hemsley :-( <em>The Jeffersons</em> was such a big part of my childhood. Great show, great character, great actor. He'll be missed.<br /><br />- It's almost August, where did the summer go?<br /><br />- I haven't had a mani/pedi in forever. I did my own toes a week or two ago though and they're still holding up strong!<br /><br />- Queen Latifah has an all women sports show? Or was that something she just did for LaLa's show?

Ugggghhh!!!<br /><br />- The Jackson Family got some drama, huh? Dem kids need to stay off Twitter.<br /><br />- I miss my cat Cole :-(<br /><br />- I think I'll go make some hot chocolate to get rid of this Oreo craving.

Foot doctor at noon to see what's going on.<br /><br />- Ruben Studdard was just on <em>The Wendy Williams Show</em>, and he sang his new single. Not feeling it, and I really wanted to like it too.<br /><br />- I'm hungry. I think I worked up a good appetite spinning this morning!<br /><br />- I missed the Emmy nominations because I had my Beyonce videos on. I need all the motivation I can get!<br /><br />- I have a sporty little afro, but I must admit...I miss my longer hair :-(&nbsp; I'm getting bored, might be time for braids.<br /><br />- It's been hot as the devil lately, so thank goodness it's cooled down a bit. I still love the heat though - and guess what...it's SUMMER TIME, it's SUPPOSED to hot! <br /><br />- Peanut Butter and cinnamon raisin oatmeal is my new favorite snack!<br /><br />- I'm wearing perfume today :-) That's big for me.<br /><br />- Ever wish you could just make some people disappear? Not like...hurt them or anything...just make them go away.<br /><br />- Do any of you "prepare" for sex - or do you just do it whenever, wherever, however?<br /><br />- There is a 33 year old virgin on <em>The View</em>, she's waiting until she gets married. Have any of you ever wished you'd waited? Guys, would you marry a virgin, or would you prefer that someone be experienced first? Do you need to "sample the goods" before you marry her? Women...same question. <br /><br />P.S. - the guy just proposed...guess he won't be waiting for too much longer! Awwwww, how sweet!<br /><br />Speaking of sweet...look at baby Jordan!!<br /><br /><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n9uT8_Hbats/UAhxbM8rsSI/AAAAAAAAAt0/4-Wp2Q0E95E/s1600/tn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hda="true" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n9uT8_Hbats/UAhxbM8rsSI/AAAAAAAAAt0/4-Wp2Q0E95E/s320/tn.jpg" width="191" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Go!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">-b</div>Brookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.com25tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-16054370145189959582012-07-17T13:09:00.003-04:002012-07-17T13:09:59.707-04:00TMI Tuesday: 30, Horny...and Bisexual?Happy TMI Tuesday!<br /><br />I know we usually do TMI Tuesday on the first Tuesday of every month, but Fury got caught napping, and Domina*Tricks offered to guest blog for me today. This should definitely be interesting...so let's go!<br /><br /><strong>30, Horny...and Bisexual?...</strong><em>by Domina*Tricks</em><br /><br />Ever since I hit my sexual peak around 30, I have been on a continuous hormonal roller coaster ride&nbsp;full of sexual peaks and valleys. The onset of my&nbsp;bisexuality began on one of those highs. <br /><br /><br />I didn't fret my 30th birthday like most women do. I was educated, well traveled and successful by my own standards. I was in the best shape of my life and my energy was positive - I was on a natural high. <br /><br /><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hvr9_HtgKsE/UAWbo9gTLEI/AAAAAAAAAtM/ATxmgOHpyNs/s1600/gregory-blake-photography-01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hda="true" height="212" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hvr9_HtgKsE/UAWbo9gTLEI/AAAAAAAAAtM/ATxmgOHpyNs/s320/gregory-blake-photography-01.jpg" width="320" /></a>I felt good about myself. I also noticed that I also wanted more sex, and craved the experience of others. But not just men...OTHERS...as in everyone...male or female. I had never really felt a need to experience a woman until this time in my life. But I was open to it...and excited about it.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">As of late, I have revisited an upswing in&nbsp;my sex drive. I’m constantly aroused and think about sex nonstop. This could be in part because of&nbsp;a hormonal shift, or perhaps it could be that tiny barbell piercing on my hood, just above the clitoris. The bead on the end of this barbell quite frequently rubs my clit and results in the feeling that I’m sure rivals&nbsp;an 18 year-old boy in heat. I don't know how you men deal with it!!</div><br />I like sex, this has not changed...but my need for sex has changed. Some days are worse than others - not meaning that sexual arousal is ever a bad thing - but some days I want sex...others, an orgy, and there are those&nbsp;times I prefer sleep (probably from all of my extra curricular activities). Then I'll go on a spree where I want nothing but men...then six months later, I'll commit to a woman who I've fallen madly in love with. <br /><br />Who is responsible for this malicious trick? Am I being punked?&nbsp;Men hit their peek in their late teens to early 20s, when most are free from the responsibility of adulthood. But here&nbsp;I am; 30-something, a kickass career, no children, and ALWAYS horny.<br /><br />My bisexual&nbsp;lifestyle does help with this&nbsp;affliction, but not every woman is&nbsp;genetically disposed to be in my position or have the desire to live&nbsp;like I do. But being bisexual doesn't mean I' m a whore, or promiscuous. Bisexuality&nbsp;is only a small part of my life and doesn’t mean that I don't go out with friends, to movies, plays, or spend time with my very accepting family. I just happen to be horny while I'm living my life, and I wonder if it'll ever pass. I have to wonder how other women fair during this crazy time of life. Do these feelings bring about the need to seek gratification in other ways or from other people? Do you have sex more with your husbands? Do you cheat if he can't satisfy you? Do you buy more toys? What do you do?<br /><br />Or is it just me? I can't be the only raging sexual animal in her 30's roaming around NYC. Please, someone, anyone, tell me...are you just as horny as I am??<br /><br />-Domina*TricksBrookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.com27
